Thunderstorms have our beach day on delay, so we stopped in @bombobar for some frozen hot chocolates. ☔️
“There's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark out, and we're wearing sunglasses.” Stumbled upon this amazing art while on my errands today. 🎨
My sister and brother-in-law welcomed their new baby earlier today, so I brought cake balls from @westtownbakery to the hospital to share. Because what’s a birthday without cake? 😉🎀🎉

“Hey, Mom. Next time you take off in the middle of the night, why don't you hire a murderer to watch the house?” - Uncle Buck Spent the day visiting the filming locations of some of my favorite Chicagoland movies! Here is the Uncle Buck house. I’m going to put together a blog post with photos from all of the different locations. ☺️🎥

Happy 4th of July! Today is my favorite holiday and I am so ready for it. 🇺🇸☺️💥

My apartment is being shown tomorrow. I move at the end of July and tomorrow is July first — what?! It’s not just regular moving because I have to sell all of my stuff and rent a storage unit for all of my priceless items. I honestly can’t believe I’m doing this again. Plus, if my documents don’t process in time, I’m going to be homeless until I can leave the country. 🤦🏽‍♀️ There was a point where I thought I would spend my whole life in Chicago. It feels very strange to leave the place where I thought forever would be. I thought I’d work here, raise a family here, and be happy here for forever. Now I’m cutting ties with that entire plan and moving abroad — again. It feels surreal. But the most important part of that dream, being happy, wasn’t happening in Chicago. So, onto something unplanned and uncharted. I guess it feels particularly difficult this time around, because if things don’t work out abroad, I don’t want to move back to Chicago. But there’s nowhere else in the USA that I would choose to live aside from Chicago. This ultimately means that the plan is to live abroad for forever. And forever seems like such a long time to disappear from everything I’ve ever really known. But, as I’ve learned from this experience of living in Chicago, there’s no point in trying to plan “forever.” After all, I won’t always be the version of myself that has made those plans.
Icecream for dinner because it’s a holiday, amiright? 🏳️‍🌈
